lowering kit Q

[green hornet]

this summer im looking to lower the GST and put some 17 O.Z corono's "i think thats what there called" so im trying to figure out what size spring to put in the rear, i know that im puting a 2'' in the front, but i want the rear tires to be in the well or dam close! so im not sure on what size of spring to get for the rear. i want my car to sit pritty level. so do i just get a coilover kit! on my last 2g eclipse i had 2in all around and the ass of the car still looked like it had the stock springs in it pearsonally i thought it looked like s@%t! so i want to do it right this time around!

if you want it that low either get sportlines or else some coil overs. Just remember if you dont have a full coilover you are going to be blowing shocks quickly... unless they are designed for being lowered that much. Also, I would get a camber kit and then the camber plates for the front so you can adjust the camber/caster.

Get some decent adjustable coilovers.

coilovers are nice. but if your just going for looks and highway driving and stuff you can just as well get the eibach (sp?) kit and they will do just fine. just remember to watch your shocks

This may help you visually. This was my GS-T dropped 2" with Tanabe springs. Those were the best pictures I had that showed the drop. That was on 17's and 225/45's I believe. It was a long time ago.

ya thats about the look im going for! no it's not for show! im in the prosess of making a street/drag car nothing crazy!there is no interior AKA guted to shit lol! but i want it to look good on the out side and i want it to handel pritty good not like auto-X good! but able to handel some corners when i feel like going a little crazy!

hey thanks for the visual really helped! i guess with stock rims my old car didnt look like it was droped really, but i think with coilovers i will get the look and preformance im looking for
thanks guys!

Good luck. I personally think just going with a set of lowering springs and new shocks is a much simpler route, but you do what you think is best for you. The 2" drop I had I think had a great looking stance, and I have a 2" drop on my 1G which I again really think it's a good looking stance.

is your current car a 2g hornet?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I would suggest some decent struts, and some 2" drop springs. For what you said you'll use the car for, coilovers would be a waste of money better spent elsewhere. Just curious, but do you always talk like you're really excited? Or do you just really like using the exclamation point?

If you are looking for the low 2" look WITH good performance, the sportlines aren't for you, they are not stiff at all and you will be rolling around still. Get some good coilovers (not cheap crap, expect to pay 6-8 hundred).
